I have learned many things. It took a long time, until my final years in Vienna. For so long, I was simply learning and learning. Good? There is one group, the Sādhus, the Jain Sādhus. They do not wish to break any flowers. Flowers exist, but they are not to be plucked. All year, they have flowers somewhere, but they do not break them. You can see any Jain here and ask them. But yesterday, someone told me—and there, you gave me one Mālā. This Mālā was made from plastic so that they can use it. Why? Because one should not break or take grass and flowers; otherwise, it is not good. Do not eat them. So, someone comes now and sees Swāmījī and asks, "Where is my wife?" They also do not sit on the grass. They are Sādhus; we are Sādhus, they are also Sādhus. But they will not walk on this [grass], and they do not wear shoes. They perform very great meditations every day, and of course, they do not eat meat or consume alcohol. But now, some people have become what you call professors. And when there are many professors, doctors, and so on, they sometimes come. Only these so-called great people, who think of themselves as great, stand there drinking and so forth. They do some things but not all; otherwise, they do not. They say, "We are human, and we know that God is God, but not you. Only God, or this—this tree is very great. Do not break it, do not trade it." Also, like this, that is very great. They do not. At sunset, they do not go out anymore. The Sādhus, others, they are working or going, but all their religions... they should all be there, and they are not cooking. They do not cook anything. But they go to their rooms in their house, or something like that. Vikṣām Dei. So, like that. Also, all Sannyāsīs were like that, but now our Sannyāsīs, our Sādhus and Sannyāsīs, they have become more strong like this and do this. That is not good. But now it is like this. Okay. Of course, they are vegetarians and do not have meat, etc. And now, when it comes... they have already come. For four days, this Sannyāsa, the Sādhu, this Sannyāsana... Their Sādhus stayed four days in one Āśram. For us, three times, our Sannyās and so on. And other ones said, "We do not want to be here; we want to go into the whole world and give them meditation," and like this. But in our tradition, Sannyāsīs do not wish to go over the [ocean]. They do not go outside of that river. This river and that river—we should not move. And that is also, you know, very strict if you know. All Śaṅkarācāryas and such, they do not go outside of the open waters and rivers. They will go different from there, but otherwise, not like that. But now we other Sādhus, Avadhūtas, and so on, we are doing all, and we are working. Otherwise, we will lose everything, and other people will talk Māyā. And so it was with other religions, was it not? It came along with Sannyāsīs and Sādhus. And then came the Christians, and they came to the Indians. And then Christians and Muslims—it is not so long. They are very long, now short times when they begin to have this doing. Otherwise, they were also Hindus in that way. Now we have to know how we do and what we are doing. So that Indus and this Jaina and this: no meat, no alcohol, not killing animals, not even one ant. And now these others came and have been doing everything. Now, there is very little good in many things. But why? They said, "We do not want to kill anyone." And then it was, we said, "Jīva jīva bhakṣate." I always tell you many times: "Jīva jīva bhakṣate." What is a Jīva? Jīva is a life. What is living? Even the grass is living. This is living, and so on. But we cannot do so much, so we can eat fruits and like this. And so we got the fruits, and many only take the fruits when they fall down from the tree. And when we take this, it is said it is not good. But we are already... we have everything in my room. That is, oh my God, I have these five flowers, and each flower is very good, you see? It is hanging all the time, and so that is always good. So, in this way, you should read. Next, I will read from a book. Not very big, but only this little, little... Like this, and when and how it is. And so you see also many in India, and they are ambassadors, and they are Hindus, and this and that, but they have lost something. They are meeting, or they drink alcohol, or maybe someone's... and like this, it is a life. One has gone, one has lost, and one is taking more. They want to have others. We are eating everything, this and that. We are, and so this is a very big problem. And Jīva, Jīva... Bhakṣate, Jīva, Jīva. Jīva means life, so life of the life of the Jīva, Jīva, Bhakṣate. And Bhakṣate means eating, killing and eating. Then after, it is said from Bhagavān Śiva, and at that time Śiva was only showing one. But then they said, "But where? How will we have this and that?" And then he said, "They are both. Left side is woman, right side is man." And we are all like that now, and we are all very good, we know. Yes, and someone said, "Only there should be one woman," and this only one? No, it is your husband and your wife, that is good, that’s all. And your children, and my neighbor, there she is also with families, and like this, and they are. So good. Everyone is good, very nice. One has which fruit? He has this fruit. We have this fruit. We are good, everything. But now we have lost many things. If you marry, then it is life-long, life-long. And when one has very many problems, some disease, and like this, then... he or she must give them a lot of Sevā and take care of everything. It is not that when you are going to marry, marriage is mostly, in the beginning, maybe for sex. And they are going with the sex, this and this. How long are they? After marriage, maximum about 10 months, 20 months, or one year completely. After this, they themselves do not think like this. Okay, a few months, and two months, and we have a child, and then there is more to the child, and like this. But it is not like that, that only that we want sex, sex... Then it is not things, and you will suffer. That is why, then, our people... it is called the male and male, or this does not matter. After a few years, then you do not like that. Husband does not like you, or wife does not like those, and this one wants to get out and get other girls, or other girls she wants. Not a good deed. The man, he is taking another one, and it does not happen now. Everything is so very nice. What? What is it? Oh, why do not you speak? Tell me. You see, I tell you, we have to tell the same thing now that we are doing. Your husband, wife, and this—you are married. And then you, for a while, and then you go somewhere away. How many times do you have many problems? Otherwise, you have a very nice husband, very nice wife, and very good children—very nice, all at home. They are all very happy and like this. This should be that, and from that. But now, day by day, it is so long. Now it is happening. When I came here, very often, it was much better there. But now it is how it is. Of course, I do not want you can do what you want, but I tell you, it will not have to go, then that you have to go again back towards our creature. So Jīva jīva bhakṣate, that Jīva jīva that goes everything, but then is coming that Śiva or this whatever, then it is called thy self in that, and that is that. Ātmā, Paramātmā, that I will be only this, that I will come to the heaven of the heaven. We have to now, but you cannot. You are lost. We have good, okay? One is sitting in the ocean and water, and another is sitting outside, and the other is on the other side. Okay, it happened. Why did you not have first? But how is this so? We are suffering both sides, suffering both sides, suffering. So, but there is a different thing that is lost out now, not only in New York country, but in all many countries everywhere. So, but that means that when they marry once, then they do not, and very so, anything, anyhow, it is our, we do not. We want to be good, and somebody is not good. I will not want. I will take another one, and that is now a new thing. What is that new thing? And what is a new thing? Kali Yuga. Kali Yuga, you know? Kali Yuga, do you know? Kali Yuga? Only three, said. Only three people said. I tell you, we are all good now. That is what I said. You did not understand. We are all good. We are all good, and we are getting everything. What it is, and we get our... So please do not understand that it is wrong or not wrong, but in this wrong and not wrong, there we have to bring our in that. Because everybody, you are doing for good things, but one person, that not make for you good. Then, of course, they are going out, and so this is a very big problem, a very big problem. And sometimes you will see it is really that marriage, but it was not good, and both, it was not good, and they said, "We want to go separate at that." Time they were on the other side. I have one story, a little bit. Can I tell you a story? I drink the water, otherwise it is said. A long time ago, about a year, one and a half years like this, they were in the schools, children, girls and boys. They are all very good, very good. They are going home together and coming, and this one is girls and one is a boy, a little boy, and begin like this. And so, everybody’s after certain times, the first girl said to that boy, and the boys said something. This and they were from the neighbor, and all the times they were like brothers or friends, children and like this and like this... And then sometimes they were bringing fruits or bread, and so he sent the bread to them, or sometimes them bread this time, and so, and then they become good friends in the house. And so, they were giving the bread and butter. And so that boy and these girls and the father and sister, they are, and he said, "I am bringing bread." The boy, and they bring the bread, and comes the nice butter like this, and he is cutting bread, and he takes the hard, very hard one that on one side, and from this side also, from this side, and soft, very nice, he gives to that girl, and he is very... do not like, but because we are boys, all, even now, all boys, we give first to the females, and then we give to the males, no? So. We give you first, friend, this and that, and that is other going like this, yeah? And he takes this bread, a little piece, hard, and he gives it to her. But she does not want it. She wants to have it, to eat like this, but she does not want to ask. She will not. People are... At that time, people were very respectful and very good. So every day, when he said, "When I marry, then I will tell him before," not so. They made a marriage; it is both families and everything. It was good. So this is the story, very... Stories from Vienna, yes. So they married, and very good. She was very good, he was very good, parents are very good, and this and that. And she was happy that now I will get the bread, hard bread. But he always brought the bread, and he cut for her, and he took the hard, hard one side. And he is good, but she do not tell. She says, "No, she do not say. She do not say that, ’Please, can I have hard?’" No. And he said, the boy said, "My God, still my wife does not tell me to have a little hard eating and soft I can be, but no." Asking anybody, one month, and after one month, his wife did not want to speak with him, only doing work for him and in his cooking. He is cooking, morning coming, boy, hello, good morning. She do not look like him, and like this, yes. So whenever I go anywhere, husband and wife, they go very respectful and everything. At home, when they come, she is cooking this. And he is cooking something, so heart is he taking and fight and soft and good he give to him, and she do not like, and other is like this, okay? But marriage, we are marriage, they said, and we will not go anymore like this, we are okay. But what to do? Then they came to the 50 years from their marriage, from this day, from that, yeah. And the husband said, "We go to some time in the farm or somewhere, and a very good hotel, and this we will have their eating," and so he said. She said, "Okay," and they went there, and the husband said to the hospital persons, and they said, "Please, we have married, and now we are 25, 55 years, and so please, can we have a nice breakfast and this and that?" Well, they put very, very nice. Everything, and then the husband said to his wife, "My dear, so many years we have not done anything, and we are so always and always no good, and we are not good, but I am always working for you, and see, you are working for me. And what to do now? It is 50 years." And they made nice, good things. So he said, "Bring the food like this and like this." And they made everything here, and the other one. And his husband said, "Darling, 50 years." And we are here, always. And she said, "Because all the time, heart, bread, you never give me." And she said, and he said, "Whole life you gave me heart, all my teeth is burned." And he said, "What should I do? What about that?" And he said, "My dears, this bread I cut, I give to you, and the other I give to me." Your I take it, and she said, "Now is bread my so good." And he said, "Now you are happy." And she said, "I am now happy." And he said, "Let’s go get married." This is a new, good marriage, and they went, "They are now, we are happy." So there is bread, the bread is great, and how to do these things? But think, is that whole life? When they married, then they became the marriage, and always, even heart and this, but they remained like a best and good. Always cloth, and this and that, and then they told him, "Please, I am so that I did not. Whole life I was biting, and I give you soft." And she said, "I want like this." So sometimes, one day, one day it will come, what you want. And so it is also in this life, in this modern life, we have many things. But one day you will bring that one. So you will say, "Now I am really good, friendly, everything in this way." And so we also, in our self, even if you do not marry, you have no husband, you have no wife, you have no girls, you have no boys, but very inside, maybe you feel not good. But there are some I do not need. I am very happy I am, and when if it will come, it will come. That will be forever. So, but do not do this and quickly this, and then this quickly. That is not good. So, this was... I had other, like, I want to speak today, yeah. The subject was different subject, and... This was, but this is also very good. So what we can tell you, and so I can tell you now, how we are, we should be as we are, to do good for others. How he is doing, and but others, then we will be really very happy, everything, even your. Neighbors only are them that we have to bring ourself, so it does not matter if it happens, but do not say, "It is not good, and I do not want this, and no." Peaceful, peace, peace, peace. So you have, and I also have, many problems you cannot imagine. But still, I am like one, in one point, in one point. My guru, my Gurujī, Mahāprabhujī. And that, where, how he has done, whatever it is, but it is all hard. You know, I went to Vienna, I went to India, and I came back again. Like this, whole years, I can, I never say that I go this time for one month somewhere. Where do you go? You go on holiday. So, I want to go to holy days. My holy, yeah, my holy, you know, my holy is one of the best things. So, I did not say I will go somewhere for no. I was, when then I went spiritually there many times. I go there and people, many times I went to three, one, two, three peoples. And some people come, yes, and they say, "Why are you a Swāmījī?" And yes, and please, you can. Immediately, it becomes all Satsaṅgs and everything in life. So that is also the best, that I am the best. There is no one who is best for me, you for you. You do not know, so. Good and good, you are good. Take it as it is now. It means that something was falling down, but if you lose it like that, then you will die. Everything, there is a story. It is very big, and there was that one doctor, and that doctor, one doctor, was very hungry. He was very big and like this. That time, they were all only in the street, not in their house, everywhere. And so, one day, he took one bread, a full whole bread, and he ran. And there was a little water, very little, and he went running. Quickly, and then he said he wanted to go through water there, and what happened there? Look, here is water, and he said, "Oh, there is again one bread." The dog said, "Yeah." So the dog was going like, and now he said inside, he said, "I will have." Two butters say, "Bread," and so he said, "Wow, what happened? Bread fell in the night." And he said, "Where is that? It is lost by both." One was loved. Is it from reflects only? And one is then, but you lost that both. He was thinking it is very good, huh? And he is gone. So, like this, you think that you will have a very good person for me, and I go with. And then, while this, I think, no, this is not, and I want to take the other one now. Both, and how? Wow, wow... Wow, wow... Like this is so, anything whatever we have done, now what did wherever we need? But now, keep your bread within in your mouth, yes, that’s it. So whatever you have done, that was done, but now what is this? Hari Om, deep night, Bhagavānī.
